Paper Finds

Who says doilies are just for grannies? I could think of a few of alternative uses for this paper lace garland:

• wedding (obvious use)
• tea-themed children’s birthday party
• christmas decor

I’m always tempted to dabble in creating invites/stationery of my own when I stumble upon something as pretty as this wedding invitation suite by avie. A single set, priced at $5.85 includes the following:

• (1) 4x6 white save the date postcard w/ printed address
• (1) 5x7 white invitation and matching green envelope
• (1) 4x6 white rsvp postcard w/ printed address
• (1) 4x6 white folded thank you note w/ matching green env.
• (1) 5.8x1.7 invitation address label
• (1) 5.6x1.6 thank you address label

I’m not the biggest fan of Kraft brand products, e.g. mac ‘n cheese or mayonnaise, but I am, however, a fan of kraft paper. These lovely save-the-dates are constructed with kraft paper and baker’s twine (and undoubtedly a dash of tender loving care). If you’re planning a wedding on a budget, I’d suggest trying out this tut - it’s the right balance of elegance and creativity.

These intricately folded paper stud earrings by papermode sort of remind me of chinese finger traps. That or paper rolls of pennies, but a billion times prettier.
